Decisions

Jiggles · July 16th, 2013, 10:19 AM

Well?

csmith12 · July 16th, 2013, 10:21 AM

Purpose?

CC Cowboy · July 16th, 2013, 10:27 AM

I don't have either. That's way I'm so slow in the corners.

Bigballsofpaint · July 16th, 2013, 10:32 AM

I picked 300 only because i would rather have a digital display and FI on my 250. Yes i know i can upgrade it, and i will eventually since i already own the bike outright.

dave42 · July 16th, 2013, 10:37 AM

I'd go for a 250 since I'm emotionally attached to that one and I have abandonment issues.

Toyotas do not hate 300s

Snake · July 16th, 2013, 10:49 AM

Ride the 250 on even days and the 300 on odd days.

Jiggles · July 16th, 2013, 10:56 AM

I picked 250 because I'm going to use Ecotron's kit

Bigballsofpaint · July 26th, 2013, 08:34 AM

I also plan on picking up the ecotron kit and koso gauges, first my 1000 needs a full akro. Hamden CT eh? going to bear mountain with us tomorrow?

Not sure what you're talking about, i would love to go though but i'm going to boston with my girlfriend

Bigballsofpaint · July 26th, 2013, 08:40 AM

check the group ride section now and then. Were heading to Bear Mountain to join some of the NY guys, leaving 630 AM sucks but oh well. Be home by 2 or 3.

250rr · July 26th, 2013, 08:41 AM

300. 'Cause it's 50 more than 250.

NevadaWolf · July 26th, 2013, 09:08 AM

I picked 300 cause ... well just cause.

alex.s · July 26th, 2013, 09:50 AM

ride the 300 and try to lock up the rear downshifting. i'll give you a dollar if you can lock it for more than a chirp without rear brake

I bet I can do it

alex.s · July 26th, 2013, 10:10 AM

take the gopros

choneofakind · July 26th, 2013, 01:45 PM

alex, I'm guessing you actually attempted this on your demo ride?

ally99 · July 26th, 2013, 01:57 PM

The 300. It has a clock.

lgk · July 26th, 2013, 02:01 PM

The way slipper clutch works should make it impossible.

When its opens it kind of synchronizes the flywheel and output shaft before it applies power.

choneofakind · July 26th, 2013, 02:02 PM

Just watch out for Camry's. I saw one today. Made a point to wait extra long before turning so it had a chance to go by. Those things. Baddddddd juju.

That right there folks. The cops don't approve of me checking the time on my cell while riding.

It doesn't even chirp. It just feels like it slowly engages. It generally works as advertised, but at times feels a little slow to fully engage, making it feel like you're slipping the clutch or wearing it in a way.

It does a good job of preventing rear wheel lockup no matter how ham-handed you get while downshifting quickly. But it does feel different than a track-focused one as fitted to a 10R or 6R.

alex.s · July 26th, 2013, 04:25 PM

when i test rode it, i was trying hard to lock up the rear. it was really hard. best i could do was lift it up with the front brake right as i dropped the clutch. i didn't notice any slip when clutchless upping it. i liked it alot.

have you checked on the condition of the clutch plates at all yet on your bike @Alex?

Alex · July 26th, 2013, 04:42 PM

That was when the bike was new, and it still has less than 2K miles on it. I'd hope and expect that the plates remain a-ok for along time to come.

Dredgshadow · July 26th, 2013, 07:58 PM

You could ride one on the days of the week that end in "day" and ride the other on the rest.

7oxSin · July 26th, 2013, 08:13 PM

you need to have a third option

[] we hate jiggles cuz he has so many bikes n helments
